Album Description
Available in:
Beautiful World is the fourth studio album from the British pop group Take That. The album was released in November 2006 and was the band's first new studio album in 11 years. It was also the band's first album to be released as a four-piece instead of the original five-piece, without Robbie Williams, who had quit the group in 1995 and was not to rejoin them until 2010. Five singles were released from the album: "Patience", "Shine", "I'd Wait for Life", the European-only single "Reach Out", and "Rule the World", which appeared on the deluxe tour edition. The album features what Take That describes as "a throwback to the 90s, but with a modern twist". Beautiful World is their first album in which every member of the band sings lead vocals on at least one song.

User Album Review
Since Take That broke a million girls' hearts ten years ago, the fans have grown up, the 'Smash Hits' era has ended and the boy band has taken note. Anyone expecting instant nostalgia from Beautiful World will be disappointed - it proved its worth on their comeback tour, but the new album has a more mature sound. It's pop but without the cheese. There are no covers and nothing to demand a choreographed dance routine to wear out the knees of "four old men" (their words, not mine). Their voices are stronger and the lead vocals (and writing credits) are shared.
"Patience" is already a worthy number-one single, and the strongest tune on the album. It has its share of ballads but Jason's raw, acoustic folk "Wooden Boat"' is a stand-out track whilst Mark's "Shine" - a brilliant, Beatlesesque, funky pop song - is reminiscent of his solo work. "Mancunian Way" hints at their years out of the spotlight 'I just forgot how it is to feel / to dance and move and keep it real / been lying down for ten long years'. The title track is uplifting and "Like I Never Loved You At All" is lovely. It takes a few listens for some of the tracks to sink in and there's no "Back For Good", but it's a heart-warming album that fans will love.
